Biography
Teguder Khan was born in 1239 to Hulegu Khan, a Tengri member of the Borjigin dynasty of Mongols. Teguder, unlike his father, adhered to Nestorian Christianity, as did his brother Chief Abaga of Rayy. In 1260, he refused to convert to Orthodox Christianity like his father and brothers did, and when Teguder became the new khan on his father's death in 1265, he had to rule over an empire that was now mostly Orthodox. Teguder promoted several Nestorians to noble titles, and convinced several Orthodoxes and Muslims to also convert.
